"Hahahaha......" The emperor laughed heartily, and his excitement was overflowing.

Indeed, it has been the emperor's wish for many years to accept the wilderness Houyi tribe, but the wilderness is separated from the Central Plains by tens of thousands of miles, and there are many extreme places, and there are many evil beasts like cattle hairs, which can be described as a natural danger, if you want to directly send troops to collect it, it is almost impossible, even if a single cultivator wants to reach the wilderness through the natural danger, it will be nine deaths, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands.

However, the appearance of Xiao Zhang changed this difficult reality, and thanks to his intervention, the Houyi people were truly unified. Later, although the imperial court routinely recognized the establishment of the Houyi Kingdom and issued an official document for canonization, it was not easy to truly control the hearts of the Houyi people.

And now, the queen of the Houyi tribe actually took the initiative to sacrifice her heirloom and asked to recognize the emperor as her father-in-law, which means that the Houyi tribe finally accepted the human rule of the Dayan Empire psychologically.

The emperor naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed by such a big happy event, but at this time, the prince's piercing business sounded again: "Your Majesty, the Houyi clan is a barbarian wild race, how can they enter the territory of my Dayan Empire? Those barbarians must have bad intentions......"

"Shut up!" The emperor had long been annoyed by the prince's repeated disturbances, and now he finally broke out, letting out a dull low shout, which contained the powerful power of Pangu, and rushed towards the prince.

The prince felt as if he had been hit violently in the chest, and suddenly he couldn't breathe, and then with a whoosh, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and passed out on the table in front of him.

The ministers were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to take a breath, let alone help the prince up.

The emperor didn't seem to see it, but continued to look at Xiao Cui with a smile and said, "What are the conditions for you to marry into my imperial family of the Great Yan Empire?"

This question seems to be caring and considerate, and it seems to be a polite greeting, but in fact it is very necessary.

The emperor has been an emperor for nearly a thousand years, and naturally knows the sub-scheme of the surrounding effect to voluntarily belong to the empire, that is: I am willing to be your vassal country, but you must give me some benefits, such as giving me some territory, or giving me some preferential policies.

In short, small countries belong to large countries for only one purpose: to seek the protection of large countries and to reap some benefits by the way.

The emperor understands these very well, so this question must be asked, if the Houyi clan is not very conditional, it is okay, once the conditions are discussed, then the emperor will immediately tear his face and refuse. After all, the Houyi people are located in poor mountains and bad waters, and they are almost worthless except for the abundance of beautiful women.

Xiao Cui is just a simple girl from the Houyi clan, although she joined the Black Scorpion Society, she does not take these things politically, and really regards this sentence as the emperor's concern for herself, so she said gratefully: "How dare Xiao Cui have the conditions? Being able to be with the Thirteen Princes is the blessing that Xiao Cui III has cultivated." ”

The hint of fierceness in the emperor's expression suddenly disappeared, and he laughed and said, "Okay! I will personally prepare a dowry, and then choose an auspicious day for you, and then I will do the happy event." ”

The emperor among the ministers was in a good mood, so he dared to speak one after another, and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Xiao Cuiqiao's face turned even redder, and she wriggled and said, "I and the Thirteenth Prince are still young, and we don't want to get married for the time being......

The Emperor smiled and said, "Let it be, and tell me when you have it ready, and I will make the decision for you." ”

Xiao Cui was extremely grateful, and knelt down again and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"

Seeing the guards send Xiao Cui away, the emperor was still very excited, he looked at Xiao Zhang and smiled: "Xiao Zhang, this is all a good thing for you, how do you say I should reward you?"

The emperor's words are naturally from the heart, Xiao Zhang's appearance has indeed solved many of the emperor's problems, and it can even be said that there is no solution to the problem, and it is necessary to give a reward to thanks, otherwise it will also chill other courtiers.

However, this question seems to return to the original question, what reward should Xiao Zhang receive? It stands to reason that the merits he has made can be said to be miraculous feats, and no one but him can do it...... Even, there is a suspicion of high merit.

This is a bit inappropriate, the merit is higher than the emperor, and it will lead to death.

Xiao Zhang naturally understood this, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to have any ideas, it is the duty of my generation to serve the empire!"

The emperor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have given you all my favorite daughters, what luxury do you dare to have?"

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "Your Majesty Shengming!" After speaking, he was about to sit down, but when he saw Huang Guozhong standing up, before he could speak, Xiao Zhang saw that this old guy must not be holding back his pee.

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Guozhong opened his mouth, he pointed his sword at Xiao Zhang: "Your Majesty, Xuanyuan Sect is one of the first-level soul cultivation sects in the empire, and it has countless rare magic weapons, so the question is, since Xiao Zhang has taken over Xuanyuan Sect, does he take those rare magic weapons for himself?"

The Emperor immediately put away his smile, but did not speak.

In this regard, Xiao Zhang had already been mentally prepared, and immediately replied: "What does the prime minister mean is that any head of the Xuanyuan Sect will take the resources as his own?

Xiao Zhang's words were extremely lethal, and he actually led the fire to the emperor, and Huang Guozhong suddenly turned into an ant and was put on a hot pot.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has no such intention!" Huang Guozhong immediately shouted, with incomparable anger in his voice, "Xiao Zhang misinterpreted the old minister's meaning!"

The emperor was expressionless and impassive.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, what does the prime minister mean?"

Huang Guozhong originally just wanted to give Xiao Zhang a stumbling block, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhang to pull the emperor over as a backer, he was angry in his heart but had to suppress it, and said: "What the true appearance means is that the rare magic weapon of Xuanyuan Gate that you seized should be handed over to the imperial court?"

In a cautious manner, Huang Guozhong used a question sentence this time, not an affirmative sentence.

Xiao Zhang smiled faintly and said, "I know that a huge part of the resources of the imperial court are under the control of the prime minister, and handing over to the imperial court is actually handing over to the prime minister. In that case, then I'll take the time to transport the magic weapon of Xuanyuan Gate from the south and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you think this will work?"

This sentence undoubtedly added another fire under the hot pot, which made Huang Guozhong's heart extremely flustered and at a loss.

"Xiao Zhang, you, how can you say that?" Huang Guozhong was sweating profusely and trembling all over, "As the prime minister, the old minister naturally has to share the affairs for His Majesty, and the old minister is loyal to His Majesty, and the sky can learn from it!"
